Fantasy invades technology yet again

by Diane

Ogg Vorbis is claimed to be a patent-clear, fully-open general purpose audio encoding format standard that rivals or surpasses the “upcoming” generation of proprietary coders (AAC and TwinVQ, also known as VQF).

…Vorbis is named after High Priest Vorbis, a character in Terry Pratchett’s Discworld: Small Gods novel.

And some of us know who “Ogg” is, too. 🙂
